Pros

You are paid $11.44 an hour to start off and with 80 hours you can afford to life comfortably. You can also earn up to about $800 extra a month if you meet/exceed sales goals. You are not forced to wear a suite and tie in this environment. It is a team setting so you don't feel so alone and bored. Free accounts for yourself and nice rates as an employee.

Cons

As you see they pay you starting off at is very nice but there is a HUGE CATCH. The turnover rate is SUPER HIGH. This job is so stressful. You are FORCED to "connect" with the customer but not because you should-because you need to get A MILLION sales pitches into the conversation. You need to sell every qualified customer a credit card EVEN if they def don't need it. There is an extensive list of items you need to mention to the customer and RIGHT OFF THE BAT it comes off as a sales pitch. You have to have a certain amount of referrals a day. In the mix of trying to LIST EVERY SINGLE SALES PITCH you have to participate in your team chat and check every email (they send a million an hour). You have to keep watch of your schedule change at the same time (they will change it in a split second-i should know its happened to me so many times). Lets not forget if they give you a "title". I was asked to be Gallup champ for my team which is being in charge of gaining all 5s on our team's reviews. You have to STILL MEET AND EXPECTED TO EXCEED your daily goals, do all the other stuff i mentioned, and plan meeting for your Gallup pitches and mentor your team members on their customer service. You also have to do "activities" like posters and stupid stuff like that for your team. I left work every night at 7 and the job went with me. I was never fully rested or relaxed because it goes with you. When I put in my notice I had enough because my team leader had disrespected me a few times. All the company cares about is profit and not keeping valuable members. The pitches they want you to make and the responses they want you to say to customers are all lies and when you have to lie to a customer that actually KNOWS its a lie it kinda makes it harder to make a sales pitch. Just NEVER apply for this company. I never even recommend others to bank with them because of their system being designed to screw you over.

Pros

The best attributes of the company include a friendly, laidback culture, great work/life balance, flexibility in hours, and generally supportive senior management. They make a decent effort to retain young, talented workers through mentorships and engaging them in other Bank related activities.

Cons

The aforementioned pros depends on the department you are working in. No formal mentoring program or leadership training provided to those interested. Pace of work is slow (although this might be a pro for some). Obtaining resources to work effectively is not easy. Most employees lack engagement and are not inspiried by the work they do. This is evidenced by empy floors by 5:00 pm and earlier on Fridays. This might be endemic to banking but the mindset at Regions is very traditional and outlook is not progressive. The Bank's footprint is primarily in the SE with headquarters in Birmingham so those wanting to move NE or West Coast should not look to work here.
